Welcome to the forum!

I really like the candle idea! I hadn’t thought of that one. I’m gonna have to add some to the kit.

You are correct. No two manufactures will be the same. There’s just too much variation in the manufacturing process. But this definitely gets you in the ballpark and helps in the decision making process. It helped me determine I needed to do a Norcal tuck on the Silverado’s front fenders to...

The easiest and quickest thing to do is just remove the air dam. On my 1500 Silverado it was held on by two screws and some tabs. Takes about 5 minutes to remove and easily gets you about 4-5" inches of additional clearance.

I've been running BFG AT on my trucks for 20+ years. I typically get about 70-80k miles out of a set. I daily drive my trucks about 100 miles to work and back. Run them on the dunes, dirt, in deep Michigan snow, basically all kinds of conditions. I swear by them. Just put a fresh set of...
